PAP Upper
So today we went to the garden centre and putting a few bits in the car and had a weird shooting pain down my back and left glute
I shook it off and carried on.
Later had some more not impressed at all - half spasm have vervy pain??? I assume something is just upset and it will calm down. Took a nurofen to help with any inflammation. Got a going over with the massager and got to it.
Did my workout tonight but cautiously. I didn't do the step up part of the hammer press - I did 1 leg for rounds 1 & 2 and two feet down for 3 & 4.
I didn't do the med ball plank and did it on stable ground just to be on the safe side. After all the side plank holds yesterday and not sure what I've upset I thought better to be safe than sorry.
Got it done but after lots of careful consideration I think I'm going to finish X2 here. I don't want to quit with only 1.5 weeks to go but I think it's in my best interest.
I'm not enjoying thrashing my body in exactly the same way twice a week and really question the programming of this final phase. I feel like I'm loosing strength too. My push ups which were doing great seem to be worse than ever - 4 seems tough and 6 only just, when I was doing 8 great ones on 2 med balls!
My legs are doing ok being worked with all the lunges and step up but my upper body strength just seems to dripping away
So in order to continue to work towards my goals of getting stronger and building some more muscle I feel finishing out X2 would only hinder my progress more.
I'm gonna take it easy the rest of the week and recover fully ready to start my own X based hybrid.
